In order to make sure your unit functions
properly you must have the proper spring
configuration. Table 1 will allow you to pick the
right spring configuration for your application
based on the weight and the height of your
pallet load.
Unit comes complete with rotator ring, fork
truck pockets in base and selected range
spring package.
1. Fill in the weight of a fully loaded pallet
here: ______________________
(Do not guess. Get actual weight from
prospect or have a pallet weighed)
2. Fill in the height of a fully loaded pallet
here: ______________________
(Do not guess. Get actual height from
prospect or measure a loaded pallet)
3. Using table 1, select the correct range:
WARNING!
Before using the unit, do a safety check. Be
sure that each of the spring bayonet caps is
in place and rotated to their locked position.
Check the top and bottom of each spring to
be sure it is seated correctly. Check the linch
pin at the top of the shock absorber. These
checks are very important.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
LOADING MANUALLY
Add boxes or parts until the pallet is full. Load
he pallet in layers. Use the rotating ring to
position the pallet to eliminate walking around.
The unit will gradually lower the pallet until it
reaches the bottom. See Fig. 19.
CAUTION!
ROTATE THE PALLET LOAD. NEVER PLACE
YOUR HANDS ON THE ROTATOR RING. YOU
MAY BE HURT.
Fig. 19
REMOVING LOADS MANUALLY
Remove boxes or parts until the pallet is empty.
Unload the pallet in layers. Use the rotating ring to
position the pallet to eliminate walking around. The
unit will gradually raise the pallet. See Fig. 20.

(1) CAUTION: The springs are precisely calibrated and will work best within the load weight and height ranges selected. Selec tion
1
based on higher or lower than actual weight will result in restricted raising or lowering capability. Should pallet weight or height
weight requirements dramatically change, the unit can be adapted in the field at any time by simply changing the spring
combination used.

OPERATING SAFETY
1. Do not use this unit with a load greater than the
rated load. This includes the weight of the
payload and the weight of the pallet. Table 1
shows how to be sure you have the correct
spring combination for your application.
2. Never push the load off of the side of the
unit. If you do this, the frame of the unit may
jump upward.
3. Never use the unit when anyone is sitting or
riding on the rotating ring.
4. Do not try to use this unit with damaged or
broken pallets. Broken pallets may have
boards or nails which hang down below the
main part of the pallet. As the pallet is
turned, these boards or nails may catch on
the frame. The pallet may stop turning
suddenly and this can cause the load to shift.
You may be injured and the unit may be
damaged. If the boards or nails on the
bottom of the pallet extend down more than
1/8 inch, they will interfere with the turning
action.
5. Stay clear of the rotating ring when it is
moving. As the pallet turns, a part of the load
may rotate around

6. Keep the area around the unit clean. Do not
allow any dirt, debris, spilled oil, or excess
grease to collect. These materials may cause
you to slip while the unit is operating and you
may be injured.
LOADING WITH A FORK LIFT
1. Place the load on the fork lift, then lower the
fork lift. Before removing the load, be sure
the unit is carrying the weight, not the fork
lift. See Fig. 21.
Lower the load until the springs on
the unit are fully compressed.
Be sure the forks on the lift are clear
of the inside of the pallet.
WARNING!
If you skip these steps, the load may drop
suddenly when you remove the fork lift. You
may be hurt or the unit or load may be
damaged.
WARNING!
Never drop the load on the rotating ring. If you
do this while the rotating ring is moving, the
load may shift. You may be injured or the unit
may be damaged.
